Chapter 256: Hitting Stones
"Twilight" set off a box office frenzy around the world, and with this shareholder trend, Catherine established her position as a cutting-edge director in one fell swoop, and Zeng Xiaoxian and the heroine Zi Deira also took advantage of "Twilight" to successfully gain a foothold in Hollywood, and their popularity is close to that of A-list stars.

If you can't say one or two classic lines from "New Moon", you're embarrassed to go out and say hello to people, and if you don't know the actors of "New Moon", then others are embarrassed to say hello to you.
After creating an astonishing box office of $650 million a week, the box office miracle of "New Moon" is still staged around the world, and just one month later, it has received an astonishing box office of $450 million in the United States, and "New Moon" has also earned $500 million in Europe, plus $300 million in Japan, the box office of the three major film markets has exceeded the amazing box office of 1.25 billion US dollars, and the box office statistics around the world also have a box office of 200 million, that is to say, "Twilight" One month after its release, the global box office has exceeded 1.45 billion.
It has become the third film in history to exceed one billion dollars at the box office, temporarily ranking third after "Magic Man", and it has not yet been lowered, which means that there is still an opportunity and time to continue to impact the throne of "Magic Man".
Zhao Yonghua sang: "The most romantic thing I can think of is to grow old with you." ā
Even if the stars change and the sea withers and the rocks rot, we all pray that the true feelings that will never change will always hold two hearts. Maybe this is a mortal's love song, as long as the heart remains the same, the song can be sung until old age. The question is, how does the love between a man and a vampire grow old together?
As the screen unfolds, Bella sees herself in her old age, when Edward is still young and handsome, but fortunately it is a nightmare.
It is also a subtext of the whole story, the more Bella loves Edward, the more she fears the identity of "mortal", and making herself a vampire has become the most important problem to solve. This is Bella's heart, and it is also Edward's secret, otherwise, the tragedy of the "Romeo and Juliet" movie would not have penetrated deep into Edward's body and aroused the infinite sorrow of that heart that would not beat. If Bella dies before Edward, then he will also give up the infinite life of the vampire and run for love.
After the opening of love, Bella and Edward swore an oath of love in their hearts for the first time, and everything around them became colder, darker, and lonelier.
On Bella's birthday, celebrating her birthday at Dr. Karen's house, Jasper's loss of control was just a minor lead, which was a problem for Edward, but not enough to hold him back. Having Victoria, the lonely and helpless bad vampire, hide in the story is a good arrangement. A bright line, but secretly acting as an obstacle, leading to misunderstandings and contradictions, whether it is out of the motive of avenging her husband, or finding a reason for Edward's invisibility, it is reasonable.
In terms of plot, the scene where she jumped into the sea is very dazzling, and as for the confrontation between Zeng Xiaoxian and Jacob, it can only be regarded as showing her face in the blink of an eye.
After Edward's retreat, the whole hour became Jacob's special, and the smell of ambiguity and sadness was permeated for many minutes. Without Twilight's third and fourth parts, no one doubts Jacob's love for Bella. Because of the follow-up, all the emotions that cover Jacob can only be attributed to impulsiveness and ignorance, and there is the love for Bella, the future mother-in-law, in his instinctive consciousness. In fact, the ingenuity of this film is also here, testing the loyalty of lovers, and at the same time painstakingly portraying another high-quality idol besides Edward.
It turns out that this trick works, Jacob's fans are skyrocketing, deep wolf eyes, sexy abs, loyal personality, a woman has to have a small follower like this in her life. Compared to the original book, there is not much ink used on Jacob, which is also compensated for on the screen.

"Dafan Shooting" series of movies "has a strange circle, that is, from the first part onwards, any one after is not as good as the first one in terms of feeling and effect. Why? The audience's impression is often preconceived, and the pure beauty of the first part is frozen in our memory, like a camera. The camera was fixed at the best time, and from then on, it was almost impossible to have Yue.
The "Twilight" series is like this, the first "Twilight" is clear and warm, and the second "New Moon" is generally unsatisfactory, from a simple love to a slightly more complex love triangle, from the vampire family to the werewolf family, the effect of the film "New Moon" is not an "upgrade" can only be regarded as a just good passing grade.
The biggest impression that "Crescent Moon" gave me was two points: a strong sense of fragmentation and a beautiful little girl complex. Let's talk about the former first, many of the shots in the film are simply inexplicable, perhaps due to the time constraints of the film, and the necessary foreshadowing in the book has been omitted. For example, after the birthday party accident, the camera cuts to the school lunchtime, and the tables belonging to the children in the cafeteria are empty; This is the only sign that he will leave to say goodbye. For example, after Edward leaves, Dela's reaction is to stay in front of the window and scream every night, completely lacking attention to the psychological activities of the characters, not a simple scene and expression can express grief, what matters is how the heart that has almost stagnant spends its daily torment.
The world without details is pale, so the strong sense of fragmentation makes me feel that if this is the kind of small film clip that is played in segments, the effect may be better than continuous broadcasting, and the sense of fragmentation makes the film lose its overall cohesion.
Let's talk about the second point: the beautiful little girl complex, this is the biggest selling point of the "Twilight" series, no matter how old the female audience is, they all change from girls to women, in other words, everyone has been young, everyone has been enthusiastic, so everyone dreams of a vigorous love that does not eat the fireworks of the world. Well, the original author captured this psychology of people and created the love relationship between humans, vampires and others.
Ignoring the whole, several of the details are full of girlish beauty, and the grief is tear-jerking and hitting the heartstrings. I believe that this is also the reason why "New Moon" is a hit at the North American box office. The Times
"I think the best little detail in the book is the haunting sound, whenever Della does anything dangerous, she can listen to stop her, for which she goes on a motorcycle and her head breaks and her head is bleeding, she jumps off a cliff, all just to hear the voice of the person she loves the most. This detail is shown in the film, but it is very ordinary, during the mountaineering adventure, a light figure like smoke appeared next to her, sternly but gently persuaded her, "Come back!" ā
The strength is not enough, and there is no feeling of lovesickness that I imagined.
The "Twilight" series is destined to be the last installment, so "New Moon" is a box office hit, although it lacks a grasp of coherence. Does this also show that modern people are under great pressure and busy with work, and what they lack is a kind of innocent and romantic aesthetic feelings? 1. The Washington Post
Although it is an improvement over the first "Twilight", this is also an adaptation of Tsang's best-selling sequel, "New Moon", with a plot drag. The language is vague, even in the supposedly overflowing bridge. USA Today
"The movie "New Moon" is really boring, if you want to say that the style is dark and the emotional twists and turns, it is so obscure that it makes people squint and wonder what happened to the whole process." Dallas Morning News
"The two little lovers are lifeless, and it's hard to imagine how they will spend the rest of their lives together for a long time. associated press
"This movie is as repetitive and procrastinating as the first one, and it is still a plot of endless kisses and kisses, interpolating memories at every turn, and emotional indie rock songs." 1. News Daily
"The script and production of the "New Moon" movie is a big step forward from the first one that can't be seen, at least so that non-"Twilight" fans who haven't read the original book can understand it. The Chicago Reader
For the release of "New Moon", although the box office can be said to be a red, but in the reports of various media and newspapers, it is mixed, some say good, some do not say good, in general, it is a lot more than bad, and the praise comments roughly account for about seventy or eighty percent, which is good, many Hollywood blockbusters are not applauded, and the box office is red, but they are scolded for being bloody, which is very common.
For example, Zeng Xiaoxian's well-known "Hero" in his previous life was popular at the box office, easily exceeding 100 million, but the word-of-mouth was scolded, and few people were able to be picky about both box office and word-of-mouth, so it was generally necessary to choose one between the two, and it was difficult to take care of it, so Zeng Xiaoxian could only choose the box office first, and then take into account some word-of-mouth.
In fact, Zeng Xiaoxian watched movies in his previous life, that is, he definitely didn't choose to watch movies that were popular or not, because he thought that his taste was still relatively popular, that is, it was the same as most people, and generally those who were not popular were movies that were not popular with the public, and most people basically couldn't understand such movies, and that kind of movie had his artistic value, but it was obvious that Zeng Xiaoxian's level of appreciation was very white, and he couldn't appreciate the obviously profound mess. A movie that can bring out countless truths about life with just a few words.
So Zeng Xiaoxian thinks that if it achieves a good box office and has a good reputation, it is considered a successful movie, and that is enough.
So when he saw seventy or eighty percent of the media praising it, Zeng Xiaoxian was very happy.
At the same time as the box office success of "New Moon", Zeng Xiaoxian also kept the promise he made with Zhang Ji, and returned to the crew of "Chivalrous Love" to continue filming after participating in the promotion for a few days.
With the return and joining of Zeng Xiaoxian, "Chivalrous Love" has also entered a special state, in order to shoot a beautiful water scene, Zeng Xiaoxian and Hu Yifei are soaked in water for at least six or seven hours a day, and Zeng Xiaoxian, who is basically soaked in water above and below zero, has a little wrinkled skin throughout his skin, and basically spends his time shivering.
But Zeng Xiaoxian is okay, but Hu Yifei's problem is big, her body has always been relatively weak, and she does not leave the cold medicine, which is more similar to Tang Youyou, but one is the cold medicine keeps knocking, and the other is the vitamin does not leave the body, neither of them is a person with particularly good physical conditions, but for the sake of filming, they are as always persistent, and not shouting bitterness or tiredness is a common characteristic of the two.
This is a scene to be filmed to enter the waterfall, which is considered a literary drama, and it is basically safe.
The most rare thing is that Hu Yifei's assistant left Hu Yifei's side because of something, and handed Hu Yifei into Zeng Xiaoxian's hands the day before, hoping that he could take good care of Hu Yifei.
Zeng Xiaoxian didn't have a role this morning, but after being asked by Hu Yifei's assistant, Zeng Xiaoxian still ignored his tired body and changed into casual clothes and rushed to the set early in the morning.
When Zeng Xiaoxian arrived on the set, Hu Yifei had already changed into a snow-white thin dress, and the makeup artist was doing the final touch-ups for her.
Looking at Hu Yifei who was shivering in the cold wind, Zeng Xiaoxian felt a little unbearable, she still had to enter the cold waterfall, it was definitely biting cold.
"Xiaoxian, didn't you have no drama this morning? How not to rest! A Zhang Ji, who was familiar with Zeng Xiaoxian, said.
"No, I'm just not idle!" Zeng Xiaoxian said with a smile, but did not tell the truth.
"Attention units, prepare to shoot, three-two-one, card!" With the order of director Yu Min, the entire crew began to operate.
Zeng Xiaoxian turned his head to look, only to see Hu Yifei cautiously walked into the waterfall area, after thousands of years of waterfall erosion, the stones in the entire waterfall area have already been abnormally smooth, and they will slip if they are not careful.
Thinking of this, Zeng Xiaoxian was a little worried, but he didn't finish worrying, he saw a blink of an eye, but in an instant, Hu Yifei had disappeared from Zeng Xiaoxian's field of vision, Zeng Xiaoxian was suddenly in a hurry, and the whole person was like an arrow from the string flying towards the place where Hu Yifei disappeared, running to the waterfall in three steps and two steps, looking down, and for a while he didn't know where Hu Yifei was washed by the torrent.
At this time, the crew reacted and ran to the waterfall screaming, because they suddenly had no idea for a while.
Zeng Xiaoxian was anxious for a while, his mind was blank when he landed, and he didn't think about anything, so he didn't care about jumping into the water when he jumped into the water.
The cold feeling of entering the water rushed to his brain, which immediately made Zeng Xiaoxian sober up, but he didn't have time to react, he only heard the sound, his body was still half exposed, but his head touched a hard stone.
But Zeng Xiaoxian didn't notice that the small pool formed by this waterfall was just waist-deep, although after a long time of scouring, the stones had already been washed away unusually smooth, and there was also a buffer of the pool water, but just hit it headlong regardless of it, it still made Lin Pingden a little dizzy, fell to the bottom of the pool, and choked on saliva, so he shook twice and got up from the water.
